Ethics and the Multinational Enterprise

The long-standing marriage of business and ethics, though regularly confronted with conflict, has remained a solid partnership. In recent years, however, as popular reaction to big business has become more negative, the tension has escalated to new heights of moral confusion. With multinational corporations especially, it would seem that the clashes of differing cultural values would hopelessly obstruct international businesses' transactions. This volume asserts that multinational enterprises survive because business and ethics are dependent on each other and examines the many aspects of this issue.
